"playwrite": the word wright is an archaic English term for a
craftsman or builder (as in a wheelwright or cartwright ). Hence the
prefix and the suffix combine to indicate someone who has "wrought"
words, themes, and other elements into a dramatic form - someone who
crafts plays. The homophone with "write" is entirely coincidental. The first written record of the term "playwright" is from 1605, 73

Cinematography
CINEMATOGRAPHY is the science or art of motion-picture photography by
recording light or other electromagnetic radiation , either
electronically by means of an image sensor , or chemically by means of
a light-sensitive material such as film stock . Typically, a lens is used to repeatedly focus the light reflected
from objects into real images on the light-sensitive surface inside a
camera during a questioned exposure , creating multiple images. With
an electronic image sensor, this produces an electrical charge at each
pixel , which is electronically processed and stored in a video file
for subsequent display or processing. The result with photographic
emulsion is a series of invisible latent images on the film stock,
which are later chemically "developed " into a visible image . The
images on the film stock are played back at a rapid speed and
projected onto a screen, creating the illusion of motion
